So excited to share this article we recently wrote for
@voxdev.bsky.social! The TLDR: having regular discussions with community members helped improve student learning and enrolment. Full paper here (open access!): academic.oup.com/wber/article...

An exciting position on the econ job market this year! Québec City is beautiful, plus you would get great colleagues (like @cmichaudleclerc.bsky.social)! ☺️
I guess now is not a bad time to announce that our department @ecnulaval.bsky.social (in *Canada*) is hiring: econjobmarket.org/positions/11....

If you know some French and work in micro/metrics, seriously consider applying!

Heads-up though. Canadian politics is not exciting.

Learned about Claudia Goldin’s win by waking up to a very excited text from my dad (who is not an economist but has been a huge supporter of women in STEM–and me!–his entire career).

Lots to be grateful for this (Canadian) Thanksgiving 🍁
